Midnight, and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-fiveHoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line

Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise; Won't youKeep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time

Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smartThe joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for youLaying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crimeThat's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Honey, you know it makes you madWhy is everybody telling everybody what you have done

Baby, I know it makes you sadBut when they're handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some

Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smartThe joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for youLaying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crimeThat's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Lovers, I know you've had a fewBut hide your heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one

And others, they know just what I'm going throughAnd it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun

Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smartThe joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you

Playing with the queen of hearts, and knowing it ain't really smartThe joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for youLaying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crimeThat's what I'll have to do to keep me away from youPlaying with the queen of hearts [repeat and fade]
